The genome sequence assembly of Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims). For the passion fruit genome sequencing was used a semi-inbred plant of self-compatible accession “CPAC MJ-M-21” (Roxo Jaboticaba) previously evaluated for maximum homozygosity via genotyping with microsatellites. We generated raw reads from whole-genome sequencing platforms (Pacbio Sequel II and 10X Linked-Reads) and assembled the sequence data to create a quality de novo assembly of passion fruit with 97% recovered as per BUSCO analysis. The final genome assembly has a total length of 1.3 Gb, contains 1,868 scaffolds with an N50 value of 4 Mb. Repeat sequences constitute around 65% of the assembly. Protein-coding gene annotation identified around 41,000 gene models presented in the genome assembly with extrinsic support of RNA-Seq data gathered from multiple species of the Passifloraceae family. This dataset contains the FASTA formatted file and many of basic contig and scaffold-level statistics calculated on the basis of the script assemblathon_stats.pl (github.com/ucdavis-bioinformatics/assemblathon2-analysis).
